HighballWhat actually works instead
Cloud streaming runs the real Windows build on someone else's machine, so the anti-cheat is satisfied. GeForce NOW has a native Mac app and Xbox Cloud Gaming runs in a browser; both publish the games they carry. And before assuming you need any of this, check whether the game already has a native Mac build — a native build beats translation every time.
Notes
Anti-cheat: Denuvo Anti-Cheat. Linux/Proton status 'Running' does not apply to macOS.
Provenance
Are We Anti-Cheat Yet? (MIT) — kernel anti-cheat vendor; structurally impossible under Wine on macOS
Common questions
Does EFootball 2025 work on Mac?
No. EFootball 2025 uses kernel-level anti-cheat, which needs a Windows kernel driver. Compatibility layers such as Highball, CrossOver and Whisky run entirely in user space, so there is nothing for that driver to load into, and virtual machines have the same limit. Cloud streaming runs the real Windows build remotely, which is why it works.
Can I play EFootball 2025 on Mac with CrossOver or Parallels?
No. The same limit applies to every compatibility layer and to virtual machines: the anti-cheat driver cannot load. Streaming is the only route.
